Listen to the Full Episode

Why do so many high-achievers feel stuck even while working so hard to improve?

Today, on Mastering Momentum, Dr. Jan Newman continues her conversation with Dr. Hunnicutt, a licensed clinical psychologist at Momentum Psychology, about why even driven, action-oriented people can feel stuck—and what they can actually do about it. In Part 2 of this interview, Dr. Hunnicutt addresses the real obstacles behind stalled progress, including overconsumption of advice, vague goals, and emotional overload.

Together, they explore the three most common types of “stuckness,” the psychological patterns behind them, and the practical tools that foster deep, lasting momentum. From values-driven clarity to flexible thinking and brain science basics, Dr. Hunnicutt continues to outline her core framework for creating meaningful, sustainable change. If you're someone who’s always moving but not always moving forward, this episode is your roadmap to unstuck.
